It nu LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1826. The Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Etoile of Monday morning, reached us last night. The latter contains some important news from Portugal. It is stated that disturbances of a serious character have occurred at several places amongst the troops, when they were called upon to take the oath to the Constitutional Charter. At Braganza, the 24th regi ment mutinied, and 200 men, headed by a Brigadier, deserted into Spain ; at Estremos, the 17th regiment, with their Officers and ,Brigadier, also mutinied and deserted into Spain, with arms, baggage, and military chest ' • at Villa Viciosa 180 dragoons likewise de serted into Spain ; all these troops were received, but disarmed.. '1 he Etoile adds, that a brigade of Artil lery attempted to leave Chaves, but that it was sur prised and cut to pieces. The accounts from Lisbon, in the Constitutionnel, however, are entirely of a different character. A pri vate letter, dated on the evening of the 2d of August, states that the ceremonies and festivities connected with the taking of the oath, had passed over with extraor dinary pomp, and that the most unchecked delight, and the most perfect order, had reigned during three days of public rejoicings. The general enthusiasm is described *5 at it s height, and that the troops participate with ardour in the patriotic transports of the people. The same letter adds, that the news from the Provinces in the iieighbourhood, of the Capital announce the same feel• A in d g r il ni;al GvrNTARiw- hag been ap pointed Minister of the Marine. The department of Justice is said to be confided to DON PEDRO DE MELLO, who will be succeeded at Paris by the Count DE VILLA REAL. The Journal des Debats contains a curious Article (which will be found in another column) on the affairs of Turkey, in which it is pretty clearly insinuated, that the conferences at Ackermann, will not lead to a pacification between Russia and the Porte ; and that much remains yet to be done with the Janissaries, whose numbers in Asia are so great, that it is even hinted that a new SULTAN will be raised up, and the seat of Government established in Aleppo or Bronsu. The plague has made its appearance at Bucharest. Private letters from Madrid to the Ist August, published in the French Papers, state that the retu rn of the Ki ng o f SPAIN and his Court to the capital was expected on the 12th. It is remarked as a . Pro°f of the amendment of public spirit, that a year ago the . KlNGdurst not ha ve left Madrid without its becoming the theatre. of: tumultuous .proceedings, while in the present absence of his 'MAJESTY every thing has been ,quiet, even on the arrival of the news from Portugal. In • one instance only have the Police learned that the cry of " Long live the Constitution" has been. raised : it was at a bull feast. The inclosure was immediately hemmed round with troops ; but • every thing proved- that the fears they excited had no, fpundation, and that, the plot was imaginary. The Council of the Regency of Portugal ceased its functions as soon as the oath to the Constitutional Charter was taken, and the I n f anta IsABELLA MARIA, Up to that time Provisional Regent, was proclaimed permanent Regent of the Kingdom until the time of 1i majority of the young Queen, DONNA M ARIA , de, bLORIA, WhO is to issurne the title of MARIA IL The REGENT now exercises alone the sovereign power. Xt is not a little ' curious to observe the bigotry and imitation which some of the Catholic Crowned Heads continue to exhibit, notwithstanding the rapid advance of knowledge amongst their people. The Pccasions on which tile King of SPAIN has exhibited his superstition have been so frequent that it is unne cimmy to refer to them, and a circumstance which has just occurred in Paris, shows strongly that his Most Christian MAIEgTY is not less the slave to the follies at the Romish Church, than his Royal Brother of Spldn. The King of FRANCE' according to the last Freud papers, Avitre pietatis mmulator, " the 15th inst. dedicated himself, his Kingdom, his family and p eo pl e , to the Holy Virgin, by present ing her statue in silver to the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The -IVionarch concluded the ceremonies of the Jubilee by thus renewing the vow of Louts XIII. ; and the statue is to be conducted on the day of the Assumption, by the King and Dignitaries of State in procession to the altar, when the Archbishop of Paris is to give it his blessing after vespers. The statue has been inscribed with the following words : , 4 Virgini Matri, Se, Regnum, fsmiliam, populumque, avitre .. piaci/di !emulator, Carolus X. Rex Christianissimus, vovet, dicat, et eonsecrat : Anno Jubiltei XV. Augusti 1826." Is it not, we would indignantly ask, derogatory to the honour of the Almighty, and degrading to the nature of Man, to make these idolatrous dedications, and pollute the temple of divine worship with impious consecrations and blessings of an Image ? Surely, in these days, when the knowledge of the word of God is spreading so rapidly through the remotest corners of the Earth, the day cannot be distant when civilized Europe will cease to exhibit such disgusting instances of superstitious ignorance. We have received the Frankfort Journal of the 9th of August. It contains a Proclamation issued by the Duke of ANHOLT, relative to the convention con cluded with Prussia, for the introduction into the Duchy of Anholt of the Prussian system of indirect taxes, and fixing the rate of duties on imports. Hamburgh Papers have also reached us. They are filled with accounts of rejoicings on the birth-day of His Prussian MAJESTY. It is mentioned under the head of Berlin, that ample contributions continue to be received for the suffering Greeks, so that a second remittance of 40,000 rix dollars, will soon be sent to M. EYNARD. American Papers to the 9th July have been received this day, at the North and South American Coffee House. The New York Advertizer contains ac comity from .Bogota of the Bth June, at which time the official report of the late occurrences at Valencia and Venezuela had been received there—but no mea sures had, in consequence been taken against General PAIZ. The same Papers contain accounts from Monte Video, of an old date, relative to the actions between the Buenos Ayres squadron, under Admiral BROWN, and the Brazilian ships Netheroy and Imperatrice, the_ particulars of which we have already given. The blockade of Buenos Ayres had been broken by the United States ship Cyane, who received an inti mation that she would not be permitted to pass the blockading squadron ; upon approaching Ortir Bank, in the Bay of La Plata, a frigate, three corvettes, and a brig, took position to prevent the Cyane proceeding; and she was then peremptorily hailed, and ordered to send her boat on board. Captain Elliott, of the Cyane, refused, but said lie would receive a boat; and continued. on his way without further molestation. At the time the Cyane had prepared for action, the blockading squadron were plainly perceived to be making prepa rations for attack. • The Austrian Observer, of the 4th inst., also reached town this forenoon. It contains no news. Metalliques - - - 90 1-16 Bank Shares - - - 10651 .A St. John's, New Brunswick, paper, mentions that on the 24th June the woods around Froderickston, were on fire to an alarm ing degree ; that strong fears were entertained for the safety of the town, and carriages were employed to transport water to several of the most exposed places. However a fall of rain occurred which allayed the fears. By the latest accounts from New York, a rnu on several of the Banks of the Union had taken place, and a considerable alarm was entertained for the solvency of several. The Goldfinch packet arrived at Rio Janeiro, from Falmouth, on the 26th May, and the Dove packet arrived at the same port on the 6th June, and sailed from thence on the Bth, for Bueno s Ayres. By his Majesty ship Briton, Captain Sir Murray Maxwell, which has arrived at Portsmouth, advice' are received from Rio de Janeiro to the 14th of June. It appears that Admiral Pinto had been appointed successor to Admiral Lobo in the River Plate, who was expected back at Rio, preparations having been made for his reception in Fort Santa Cruz ; the Captain of the Macao is also under arrest, and his vessel is to be given to Englishmen, upon whom more reliance seems to be placed. Much activity on the part of the Brazilian squadron, is not expected, as the successor of Lobo is considered at Rio as little better than an old woman, in naval affairs. Lobo may escape from his years, but the Captain of the Macao is not likely to be so lucky, and it is expect ed he will be shot for cowardice. The Briton is said to bring only 600,000 dollars for inerchanh' account ; this isyeryo,considerably less than the quantity expected. It will be seen, by referring to our report of the proceedings at Lancaster, that Mr. EDWARD GIBBON WAKEFIELD has traversed to the next Assizes, and is now out on bail. But before the, next Assizes what vicissitudes may come ! Mr. WAKEFIELD, no doubt, laughs in his sleeve at the easy man ner in which the cloud has blown over, leaving him a long day to prepare for a trial whi c h may never take plate. It is said that WILLIAM WAKEFIELD will be tried on Thursday, unless he can traverse till the next Assizes, which he is endeavouring to do upon special affidavit, but Mr. Justice PARK is of opinion that the delay cannot be allowed. Mrs. FRANCES WAKEFIELD has been admitted to bail. Should WILLIAM WAKEFIELD be tried now, the whole facts of the case will come out, and thus the interest attending the fate of the prime mover of the divertissement be reduced to nothing. A proceeding was on Monday last had before the Magistrates at the Thames Police Office, when John Wood, the Master of the ship Edgar, was fined 20/. under the Act 47 Geo. HI., cap. 68, sec. 50., for having paid the wage s of his whi ppers or coal heavers, at a place wereother rthan on board the ship from w h ence the delivered.coa l s The provisio n i s p eremptory, ot and the Magistrate is not, invested with any power of reading this statement, we must mitigation. On and feel that the punishment is far beyond the crime, but when we remember the unco nscionable a great part of our symp athy exten sive frauds that are constantly practised in every de partment of the coal trade, . Is removed, and we feel happy that punishment o some kind has overtaken some of the perpetrators of them. A person unconnected with the coal-trad6' will hardly credit the plundering and intriguing which exist in it; the same carried on and practised in the open day in defiance of the law systematically, and, as it were, an d the magistrate. The Act 47, Geo. M. cap. 68, contains as many expect, th at i n such a number, the f ramer w ould have as 156 clauses, and truly we mi g ht contrived to have protected the public from depreda tion ; the more especi a lly as he cast a burd en on iii them, paying the meters and undertakers, and a variety of other gentry necessarily employed in putting the machinery of the This, how statute in motion. ever is not the case • the fraudspractised are as , now, i great as ever they wer e p rev i ous to the pass i ng of this Act, with only this difference, that where before the Act any body in the slightest degree connected with the coal trade could of himself commit them, now; these frauds are confined to an influential few, whd are to perseveringly correct in the discharge of certain of their duties, that . they will not permit any coal-dealer to cheat.the public, unless they are to be partakers of the spoil. In short, the act in question was framed by what may be termed the aristocracy of the eoal trade, and of course, .therefore, was framed accord ingly. The prosecution that led to these remarks, and winch we have above referred to, it will be re membered, was instituted against the master of a coal ship, for paying his coal-heavers onshore; and hence we may very fairly deduce this inference, viz. that no coal undertaker was employed, and hence it seems naturally to follow, that the prosecution was undertaken at the insti gation of some one or more coal-undertaker, or coal undertakers, in revenge for the injury suffered in their rights and prerogatives ; the treason against their Ma jesty, done and committed by Captain JOHN WOOD, in presuming to sell and 'dispose of his cargo of coals, without the intervention and assistance of any mem ber of their craft or profession. The captain did pay the wages of his men on shore, no very heavy offence, we should imagine, but certainly contrary to the terms of the act above mentioned ; and as it cannot be supposed that this particular provision was known to any one not closely connected with the trade, and no moral guilt was incurred, we repeat, that the prosecution seems to be nothing but the legal oppression of the coal undertaking profession. — As these people have commenced the war against the masters of colliers trading to the port of London, we will open to the latter a. means of defence against the oppression of the coal undertakers, and which, if pro perly and wisely employed, may be rendered a very powerful and never-failiig check, and tend, we should hope, pretty nearly to balance the power of these rival bodies. The Act 47 Geo. 3, c. 68, sec. 47, settles the amount of remu neration to the coal undertaker for his trouble at " one penny per chaldron," and we earnestly entreat all masters of colliers to see that this provision is strictly enforced. We have reason to believe that it is daily overlooked, and sums far beyond this limited commission paid, and for receiving which every coal undertaker is liable to a penalty of 10/.., recoverable before a Magistrate, and which does not admit of mitigation. We have thus done our best to open a course of perpetual warfare between the coal undertaker and the master of the coal-ship—a warfare which we shall he glad on a ll occas i ons to k eep a li ve , sat i s fi e d t h at a little occasional bickering of this nature will cause an interesting discovery to be now and then made in the science of coal dealing, which will redound to the ad vantage of the public, and help to give us that indis pensable appendage of an Englishman— ,, a comfort able fire-side in the winter," at a price a little more moderate than at present the coal aristocracy vouch safe to their very humble, dutiful, and dependent subjects. The King of Saxony has caused the Ministers of the several Christian forms of worship in his dominions to be desired to abstain in future, in their sermons and religious instructions, from expressions offensive to the other communions. ROMF..—On the 23d July, his Eminence Cardi nal Rivarola, Legate of Ravenna, coming at half-past eleven at night from the Palace Rasponi, got into his carriage with a Canon attached to his service, when a pistol loaded with rifle balls was tired, and wounded the Canon at the same time in the cheek and the breast, so that he immediately fell. The shot was meant for the Cardinal, who escaped, as it were, by miracle, having, contrary. to his custom, taken the left hand in the ,carriage. It is said that the assassin , longs to the secret societies. This affair makes a great noise. The Cardinal slowed great firmness on this occasion.

The actors walked over the stage again this morning, according to custom. The leader, Mr. Coast, b y I ns counsel, Mr. Hart, drew up the curtain by reminding his Lordship that he had promised to give judgment to-day. The LORD•CUANCELLOR said, the only thing that cre ated difficulty was, the payment of taxes and rates, which the Receiver could not have refused to pay without hav ing had the theatre shut 41. Would the Receiver, in stead of paying the 19,0004 pay immediately into court, taxes and nmtT rates, said, if 10,0004 and take a reference to the Master, upon the tax t he proposition 1 was an undertaking to pay 10 ,000tinto Court before the shutting of the office, he would take upon himself, without the authority of his client, the responsibility of consenting to it. Mr. SUGDItN observed, that if his Lordship thought what he now proposed was fair, be could say nothing against it, except that Messrs. Willett, Forbes, and Kern ble, by their owl' a g reement, had undertaken, not only themselves . to p a y the rates and taxes, but a l ar ge Wm for rent, which they had not paid. Mr, SHADWILL had to ask, that the ways might not be pressed to pay the 10,000/. by the 25th instant ; but that the time of paying it in might be extended. Mr. HART objected to this. Mr. SHADWELL was informed that there was a physical impossibility of paying the money into Court by the time stated. Mr. HART understood this to mean that they had not the money. Mr. SHADWELL said, Mr. Hart's acceptation of the term was quite correct. Mr. HART said, if the order were now made, and the money not paid agreeable to its terms, his client would take care that Mr. Shadwell's clients should be domiciled where they would safely be found in November. Mr. SHADWELL hoped, if the Court did not agree with the reasoning of this statement, it would take into consi deration the fact of the impossibility to comply. On the whole, the Court thought the order now to be made was, that the 10,000/. should be paid in by the time already mentioned, without prejudice to any further application with respect to the remaining 9,0001., and a fraction. Mr. HART would make a proposition that would relieve Mr. Shadwell's physical impossibility, now that he (Mr. H.) understood what physical impossibility meant, which was, that if Messrs. Willett, Forbes, and Kemble, would come forward and consent by their Counsel, to have their names jointly introduced into the order with the receiver's, that they should pay the 10,000/. into Court on or before the first day of next term, he (Mr. H.) would accede to the extension of the time; but it was not to be understood that there was to be any reference to the Master. Mr. SUGDEN, after he heard this did not object to it. Mr. SHADWEI.I. was instructed on behalf of those three gentlemen, at once to appear for them, and consent to Mr. Hart's proposal, which he did. Mr. HART then added, that this in a great measure put an end to the case, - and if the parties were wise, the Court would never hear of the case again. His LORDSHIP ordered the case here to rent for the present. MORNING HERALD. GLASSINGTON I'. THWAITF.S, Mr. ROUPRI. hoped before his Lordship left town, he would dispose of the point in this case. His LORDSHIP said he certainly should. He felt greatly obliged to the learned Counsel for mentioning it, though he had had the papers in his hand this very morning. In the course of next week he hoped to get through a good many judgments. - - DE BEAUVOIR V. RHODES._ His LORDSHIP wished to know what Mr. Heald had to say about the application in this case, for an injunction to stay waste. Mr. HEALD said the statement was altogether denied. His LORDSHIP observed that the fact of digging the gravel and day, the carting of it, the following the carting of it, the seeing of it sold, delivered and paid for, for pur poses altogether unconnected with the purposes of the lease, were all distinctly sworn to. Mr. HEALD said, the whole was an invention. His LORDSHIP.—It ' s a pure invention then. Mr. HEALD—Yes, and a more impudent statement never was made to this Court. . . HIS LORDSHIP desired to be furnished with affidavits contradicting what had been sworn to. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 110W-STREET—(Tuts DAT.) A poor woman applied to Mr. MlNsuuLt., the sitting Ma gistrate, for assistance under tLe following circumstaum : her little boy had been ran over and seriously hurt by a mail cart lut night : he was taken into a surgeon's shop, where he remained for some time, till he could be taken home. She understood that they would not admit him into the Hospital, without an order ; she had three other children to support, awl was very poor, her husband haring been out of work for some time. Mr. MlNsuutr. asked her if she knew the owner of the cart, but she answered that it drove away without stopping ; he then ordered an officer to attend her to the hoipital to state the case, and to procure an admission for the child, and observed, that it that application was unsuccessful he would order him to be ad mitted into the workhouse. Joseph Williams was charged with stealing a quantity of . paper, the property of Mr. Lewis Cox, printer, of Queen-street, Holborn. A great quantity had been stolen, and a strict watch had beef► kept on all tbo workmen for a long time, to no purpose ; but the prisoner Was at length deseeted, and - the paper in question folind concealed on his person. ,An elderly woman who kept a chandler's shop, wee Mamiee examined, she having admitted buying some paper 'of the same sort of the'irlioner a Short time since. She bought it as waste paper, but considerably under its value. Mr. Cox, however, contented to withdraw the charge spinal the latter ; and the prisoner was fully committed for the theft of that which was found upon him. HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tuts Da'r.) ♦ respectable tradesman, named jones, appeared before Mr. Sergeant SELLON, to answer to a complaint of fraudulently de taining a bill of exchange for lb/., the property of Mr. John Higgs, a linen-draper, residing in North-square. Mr. Higgs said, that on Saturday last he sent the hill in ques tion to Mr. Jones, requesting that he would deduct a small account due to him, and send hint the difference; this was promised to be done by seven o'clock in the evening, but from that time be had not been able to get either the bill or the difference. _ . Here a great deal of recriminatory conversation passed between the parties, in which Mr. Hammond, the acceptor of the bill, likewise joined. It was at length interrupted by Mr. Sergeant SIELLON, who said, it did not appear to him the bill was detained with any fraudulent intention, though, perhaps, Mr. Jones might have procured the address of the drawer earlier, it being now Wed nesday; yet, as he was expected in town immediately, and the acceptor was at hand, they had better attend altogether on Satur day, when the business might be satisfactorily adjusted. The parties then withdrew, apparently not in the best humour with each other. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(Thill DAY.) A poor woman applied for a summons against a bird-fancier, in Rupert-street. She stated that she had lost a beautiful canary bird, which had down from a cage, and had been caught by the son of the bird-man, who had pulled all the feathers from the tail, to prevent identity, and had refused to give it up, though com plainant had offered 51. for its restoration. It was the gift of a valued friend, and was valuable from its fine singing. Mr. DYIR remarked, that he feared be could not assist her. She had better set a value on it, and summons the man to the Court of Conscience. Complainant said that she did not mind any expense in her power. The Magistrate, however, sent an Officer with her to remon strate with the bird-fancier. . . . . .......... •..._... BRUTAL CONDUCT ue WATCHMEN.—Two decent-looking ' young women, both servants to respectable houses in Alfred place, Tottenham Court-road, were charged by a watchman named Burke, with being disorderly last night. Ile endeavoured by an able, but rather unsubstantial address, to impress on Mr. Dyer, the atrocity of their crime ; namely, walking in the street at a few minutes past 10. He likewise stated that they refused to notice the well-known and peremptory mandate of " move on." After he had expended his oratory, several gentlemen came fo rd, who voluntarily attended on behalf of the , rw,p accused. One of them being sworn, deposed, that he was last night visiting at Mrs. Jackson's, No. 2, Alfred Place, and heard a noise in the street. lie went out, and saw Mrs. Jackson's ser vant in the custody of Burke, who was dragging her, with savage violence, to the watch-house.

Wiwnson, Aug. 14. His MAJESTY has not taken any airing since Saturday last. On Sunday afternoon his MAJESTY'S visitors left the Royal Lodge in the pony phaetons, and inspected the whole of the interior and exterior improvements of the Castle, accompanied by Mr. J. Wyatville. The Royal Party, alter continuing their drives about the Great Park, returned to the Royal Lodge, and dined with his MAJESTY. After dinner his Grace the Duke of Wellington left for his seat in Hampshire, and Lord Graves for Lon don : the remaining visitors still continue at the Royal Lodge. Yesterday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta left Frogmore Lodge, accompanied by Lady Mary Taylor, for Bo l g. nor, Sussex. The Duchess of Gloucester left also For Bagshot Park. The greater portion of the Royal Household, with a select number of their friends, were last evening en. tertained by his MAJESTY with a ball and supper at Cumberland Lodge, which was kept up with the greatest spirit until a late hour this morning. An attempt is now being made to raise the Leith smack Delight, which vessel, it may be recollected, went down in deep water several months ago near Yarmouth.
